About the Program Using a case of "Reverse Genealogy" the family history of an enslaved spinner & weaver will be traced from the era of the American Revolution to the turn of the century. Based on a Freedman's Bank record Center staff will follow the historical footpath of a woman who lost children during slavery and the Civil War, surviving to secure an account with the Freedman's Bank. This presentation will demonstrate how one critical record links to a host of documents leading to an intriguing emancipation story.
